(updated 14 November 2022)
There are several further connections between Muonio and Kolari railway station, depending on e.g. of the season. Check the information on the service providers' own channels, directly from them when making a reservation, or on possible digital ticket sales channels.

- To Kolari railway station from the area of the Muonio center, there is a transport service provided by the municipality, supported by the municipality of Muonio and the ELY Centre of Lapland, from trains arriving or departing there, if orders have been received in advance. The transport works on the principle of a call taxi, which means that the need for a ride must be reported to the contractor (from 1 November 2022 Taksi Hirsikangas/Xapes Oy) in advance no later than the night before at 6 p.m. If there are no ordered rides, the shifts will not run. Reservations can be made by calling +358 40 0793112 (24/7) or by emailing taksi@taksimuonio.fi. Tickets are also on sale in Matkahuolto's online service. The transport is run according to the reservations and the customers are picked up/taken home in the urban area of Muonio. You can board or disembark the transport also from the bus stops along Muonio - Kolari VT21 according to pre-bookings (agree on this when booking and other possible onward connections). You should check the up-to-date price with the operator when booking. Changes are possible. More information at www.taksimuonio.fi .
- The genuine and original "Junataksi" connection between Kolari railway station and Muonio will continue from November 1, 2022 on market terms. The service remains unchanged as a call taxi service, where the ride must be ordered no later than 6:00 p.m. the night before, so that the ride can be guaranteed. The connection is from the Kolari railway station to Muonio Seo, and further connections are at an additional cost.
